Answer:

8 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y

We can model the situation using the following 2 equations

x + y = 22 → (1)

3x - y = 34 → (2)

adding the equations term by term will eliminate the term in y

(x + 3x) + (y - y) = (22 + 34)

4x = 56 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 14

substitute x = 14 into (1)

14 + y = 22 ⇒ y = 22 - 14 = 8

The function f(x) = x2 has been translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?

Alenkinab [10]

For this case, the parent function is given by:

$f (x) = x ^ 2$

We apply the following transformations:

Vertical translations:

Suppose that k> 0

To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph of k units upwards:

For k = 9 we have:

$h (x) = x ^ 2 + 9$

Horizontal translations:

Suppose that h> 0

To graph y = f (x-h), move the graph of h units to the right

For h = 4 we have:

$g (x) = (x-4) ^ 2 + 9$

Answer:

The function g (x) is given by:

$g (x) = (x-4) ^ 2 + 9$
